The basic principle of permeation is to measure the amount of a gas that permeates through
a sample. This is accomplished by sealing the sample to a chamber using a platen. The
permeant gas flows on one side of the film or package and a carrier gas on the other side of
the film or package. The transmission rate is the amount of permeant that is measured in the
carrier gas over time at a known flow.
Avoid production scrap and
expensive re-work costs
The 8700 and 8701 TurbopurgeTM works in
conjunction with the proprietary coulometric
sensor. Complete test results for barrier
coated PET bottles are available in less
than 12 hours. Specification tests for QC
can be obtained in less than 3 hours.
One analyser has the ability to evaluate a
wide variety of barrier alternatives and their
corresponding performance. Whatever your application may be, the
8700 and 8701 have the speed and
flexibility to be used as an invaluable QA
tool, saving time and money. These
instruments are equally at home within a
Research and Development environment,
enabling cutting edge barrier technologies
to be tested for OTR.
Utilises software to automatically
manipulate mass flow controllers,
temperature and all important test
parameters while archiving valuable
data, settings, and results graphically
and digitally.

Simultaneous Measurements
Multi-station plastic bottle moulding units
require multi-chamber OTR analysis. One
8700 and 8701 is equipped with 11 test
chambers as standard. For even greater
capacity you can add 5 expansion units (66
test chambers total) controlled by a single
work station. Using the 8701 each test
chamber can be individually enabled /
disabled / stopped / started / delayed.
The control software is simple and intuitive. Training requirements are minimal, and QA staff
can be carrying out OTR tests in a matter of minutes. In real time, the Windows® based software
will provide you with a complete graphical representation of the measurement so that you can
monitor the process and document the results.

The 8701 offers a range of optional
adaptors to provide versatile package
testing. Adaptors are available for
analysing films, containers, canisters,
pouches, bags, closures and more.
Adaptors can also be specially designed
for your application.
The 8700 with fixed platens is used
primarily in PET bottle manufacturing,
as an invaluable R&D resource for new
packaging development to test and validate
new packages.
